The hummingbird looks fantastic. It's like he was posing for you.

thanks for the comments. Yep, the first shot was a sign on a delivery truck that caught my attention. the second shot was done at the feeder at our kitchen window. I had to put up a piece of black foam board and use a SB900 as a remote to catch the little guy. the black helped isolate him. they are pretty hard to photograph sometimes. The butterfly was not cooperative at all. It was hot and he/she moved around a lot. I just started back in phtography from a Pentax ME Super (tells you hpw long it's been.) My son had a D50 and let me borrow it one weekend while we were camping. Gave me the itch again.
